There are several components or common steps to a detection process, as noted in the
taxonomy of researchers Culwin and Lancaster (2000). They include the following:
- Choosing a detection tool.
- Collecting student work.
- Analysis—Submitting the work to the chosen tool.
- Confirmation—Reviewing detection reports from tool.
- Investigation—Approaching the student with suspected or confirmed plagiarized text.
The process of locating the source of suspected student writing can sometimes be
daunting, as well as time consuming. For this reason, this guide begins by briefly
discussing components of the final steps of the detection process—Analysis,
Confirmation, and Investigation.
